Ok... so is there anything that Brian has said in the past that we know with absolute surety was the truth?
Nice. A nationally recognized talking head smacked down by hotel manager from the Bayou.
He actually saw Looter Guy walking past with his beer tub.
This was part of the hit job on Bush. It worked. The 2006 mid-terms were devastating for the GOP. It set the stage for 2008’s wipe-out and Obama’s election.
What could Brian do? He was terrified of the gangs running the hotel... lucky he got out with his life...
Not the same thing, but kind of questionable opinion:
BRIAN WILLIAMS: That’s when human life started to degrade. That’s when people ran out of of bathroom facilities and started having to use the entire [Superdome]: no power, no circulating air, and worse, no information from the outside world. Somebody said “they [the victims] just weren’t worth it.”
A bit later, Williams offered up this defense of armed looting.
WILLIAMS: The looting we witnessed downtown, you could hear gunfire in the streets of the 25th-largest city in the United States. We keep saying human behavior degraded that week. There was a desperation that you can only get when you’re the head of a family. You don’t know where a meal is going to come from, you can’t find bottled water. You don’t know how you’re going to get your family to high ground.

But the worst part had to be when Brian put on the long blonde wig and waded up and down Bourbon Street with a ghetto-blaster on his shoulder, lip-synching Zepplin’s “When The Levee Breaks”.
“If it bleeds, it leads.” That could be a news editor’s criteria.
“Swedish crime” genre has at least two lead characters that were news writers.
“Annika Bengtzon, Crime reporter.” by Liza Marklund
“Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” triology, by Stieg Larsson
The lead characters are news writers, vying for front page placements of their stories, as they personally get involved with solving the crimes.
The “House of Cards” programs, on British and American television, use a lead character who is a news writer, and gets involved with the unfolding drama, often creating some of it.
Williams is a smart operator, run amuck by careless and unprincipled managers and editors.
He probably sees himself as a modern day Clark Kent, mild mannered news reporter.
Busted, but is that enough to kill him?
The line between fiction and reality is not clearly understood, by yute growing up with video game battles, movies full of Computer Graphics, etc.
